Sustainable Food System has cutting-edge green & circular Technologies, food Safety & diversity that aims to provide quality and safe foods in an environmentally conscious and sustainable way. The book addresses both the theoretical and applied aspects of sustainable food diverse food systems. This concept of Sustainable Food System under SDG Goals is such a vast concept that, it has been impossible to highlight all the concepts in one volume. Therefore, the Editor have compiled this voluminous, comprehensive and compendious approach as balanced and organized structure of work as: Sustainable Food System Volume I & II.

A Sustainable Food System (SFS) is a comprehensive food system and Volume II targets the Novel Sustainable Green Food Processing Technologies, Circular Strategies for Recovery & Valorization and the overall sustainable techniques for Food Safety & Food Diversity. The book has a very comprehensive outline, divided in 3 major sections and further 20 different chapters. All chapters in different sections will be written by key scientists with diverse backgrounds in either industry / R&D / academia, and will provide an update on emerging ideas and sustainable technologies as well as vision for the future.

The Section 5: Novel Sustainable Green Food Processing Technologies primarily focusing on the novel green different food processing technologies in different food categories. The Section 6: Circular Strategies for Recovery & Valorization, deals with different circular strategies for valorization of the food products. The Section 7:  Sustainable Techniques for Food Safety & Food Diversity, will cover the food safety trends and food diversities nationally & internationally.

Sustainable Food System is a food system that delivers food safety & security as two key elements and nutrition for masses having impact on their social, economic, and environmental bases to generate nutritional food security for future generations shall not be compromised. Therefore, SFS targets the economic sustainability, social sustainability and environmental sustainability and makes a robust system having expansive benefits for the society. This concept of Sustainable Food System under SDG Goals is such a vast concept that, it has been impossible to highlight all the concepts in one volume. Therefore, the Editor have compiled this voluminous, comprehensive and compendious approach as balanced and organized structure of work as: Sustainable Food System Volume I & II.

The Sustainable Food System (Volume - I): framework, sustainable diets, Traditional Food Culture & Food production has a very comprehensive outline and divided in 4 major sections and further 24 different chapters. The book addresses both the theoretical and applied aspects of sustainable food diverse food systems A Sustainable Food System (SFS) is a comprehensive food system that targets the sustainable diets, traditional food culture with indigenous system and the overall food production on as well. All chapters in different sections will be written by key scientists with diverse backgrounds in either industry / R&D / academia, and will provide an update on emerging ideas and sustainable technologies as well as vision for the future.

The 1st section: Sustainable Food System: concepts & framework primarily focusing on the Sustainable food systems, its conceptual introduction, framework and different concepts nationally & internationally. The 2nd section: Responsible consumption and sustainable diets deals with different aspects of nutrients sustaining health & sustainable diets. The 3rd section: Conservation and promotion of Traditional Food Culture, covers the conservation & promotion of traditional food cultures & their practices. The last & 4th section: Climate change and sustainable food production provide the current knowledge and innovative developments related to climate change, nutritional security & agronomic bio-fortification.

This book delves into the specific subject area of life sciences, focusing on the remarkable world of millets and their multifaceted contributions. This book serves as a comprehensive guide to the diverse aspects of millets, addressing their biology, significance, functional potential, and applications.

The content in this book is divided into two distinct sections, Section I contains the detailed introduction to the Millets, their biology, classification, applications, and various types (major, minor, and pseudo millets) and Section II contains their safety, extraction, industrial applications, and SDG goals.

This book is not only an asset for professionals and experts but also a readable guide for Academicians and advanced students looking to engage with this ever-expanding subject area. The book is a boon for entrepreneurs in the area millets, as they will get the complete comprehensive information about all the different types of millets with their biology, functional potential and processing.

This book provides a comprehensive review of recent innovations in food science that are being used to tackle the challenges of food safety, nutritional security and sustainability. With a major focus on developing nations, like India, the book is divided into four main sections. The first section provides an overview of the food industry, while the second explores food safety in various segments, with an interesting account of street food safety – an important, yet often neglected aspect for safety parameters. The third section, on nutritional security and sustainability, explores various ways of maximizing nutrition and optimizing waste management in the food industry. The book closes with a section on emerging technologies and innovations, which introduces readers to some of the latest technologies in the food industry, including advances in food processing, packaging, nanotechnology, etc.

The topics have been divided into 25 different chapters, which offer a diverse blend of perspectives on innovations in the developing world. Ideally suited for students and researchers in the food sciences, the book is also an interesting read for industry experts in Food Science and Technology.

This book discusses one of the biggest challenges of the food industry, which is waste management. Food industries generate high amounts of waste, both solid and liquid, resulting from the production, processing and consumption of food. Stringent environmental legislators have made the task of waste management more challenging. Through the three sections of this book, the readers are introduced to the different types of wastes generated, utilization of waste through food processing industry and sustainable waste management technologies. The different chapters describe how the biomass and the valuable nutrients from food industry wastes could be used to develop value-added products. The book reiterates that food wastes and their by-products are an excellent source of sugars, minerals, dietary fiber, organic acids, bio active compounds such as polyphenols, carotenoids and phytochemicals etc.

This book is an excellent resource for industry experts, researchers and studentsin the field of food science, food processing and food waste management.
